Times are tough, but I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't give it back. She may need it more than I do. Giving it back is the right thing to do.

It's sooooooo tempting to keep it. That's a lot of money! I mean I'm voting to Give it Back, but the more I imagine that it happened to me, the more I want to keep it.

I'm just being honest here... but I'd keep it. If it's there, then it's meant for me. A lot of you guys are saying you'd give it back, but I'm pretty sure you're not being honest with yourselves. Just really image $98,000 in a desk YOU bought. Everything in the desk is yours, the trash, mold, papers, whatever. I don't know about you, but I could make good use of that money. I may give some of it back after I've spent it. But how do I even know that the money belongs to the person who sold me the desk? I mean, who would forget that kind of money? If it is hers and she forgot it, then she obviously doesn't need the money. Yea, I'd keep it mostly. And if I start to feel guilty, give back some of it. Just being honest...

Just put yourself in the shoe of the person who lost the money. Do the right thing. Give it back!
